Last week, Gap launched a new logo, one is called retail customers are not so happy about the change "a more contemporary, modern expression.", And the Gap decided to ask users for ideas logo design them instead. However, action has now been reversed, too. Hopefully, this change did not bring the influence of psychology.

"We just want what's best for the brand and our customers. So instead of Crowdsourcing, tonight we bring back the Blue Box." He again asserted.
